Divided into the 5 most important areas to create changes quickly—nutrition, sleep, movement, connection, and cognition—Life Will Get Better provides parents with the understanding and empowerment they need to get to the root and see real change in their family’s life.

My son was diagnosed with special needs at the age of five, and I only wish I had this brilliant book back then. It would have saved me tens of thousands of dollars and countless hours that I spent digging and searching for the answers that Dr. Beurkens has so thoughtfully compiled into one easy to use reference. From nutrition, to sleep, to strategies both the child and the parent can use to cope with difficult and sometimes frustrating issues; I can only say thank you Dr. Beurkens for putting together this lifesaver of a book!"
